Lake Capote Recreation Area

Bait Shop

The Lake Capote Bait Shop is open from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. during days of operation. If visitors arrive before or after operating hours there is a “self-permitting-station” located at the front of the building for guests to acquire either a fishing permit or a camping/RV permit. At times, employees will close the Bait Shop during operating hours to attend to maintenance objectives around the facility. If you need assistance please feel free to tour the facility until you find someone who can help you or wait and enjoy the scenery until one of our on-duty staff return to the Bait Shop.

Please be advised that operating days and hours are subject to change without notice based upon staffing changes.
